Nice things they've said…
"An irresistible, infectious style that had the audience rapt from the get-go." Chortle
"Like a force of nature he grasped the crowd's attention and left them in hysterics." City Life

"Feedback for Andy's 20 was excellent" Lee Martin (promoter), The Frog & Bucket
"A bundle of high energy brilliance." Toby Hadoke (promoter), XS Malarkey
"One of the strongest openers we've had in ages. Absolutely brilliant." Steffen Peddie (promoter), Big Owl Comedy
"A maelstrom of high energy hijinks and unique, off-the-wall observations. He takes the audience on a 100mph journey that has them riveted and hysterical with laughter. I've booked Andy to headline my gig twice and I will do so again in the future." James Blood (promoter), Stand Up At The Gatehouse
"British Gas couldn't provide a room with this much energy! The only thing Andy generates more of is laughs. One of the best acts I've seen and booked, Andy delivers the goods every time I've seen him. He has that knack of instantly grabbing an audience and taking them on a rollercoaster ride. His physical antics and superbly-written material had the audience in stitches for his entire set. I cannot recommend him enough." Guy Thomas (promoter), Stand-up Saltburn
